Discrimination drives away talent, with 36% of LGBTQ+ employees leaving jobs due to employer discrimination. To retain and attract top talent, companies must prioritise DEI by: - Implementing inclusive practices. - Providing mentorship programs. - Ensuring a zero-tolerance policy for discrimination. - Offering benefits that support LGBTQ+ employees - Conducting regular surveys to understand and address employee concerns. - Creating employee resource groups for LGBTQ+ staff. Together, we can create workplaces where everyone feels valued and respected. #PrideMonth #Pride2024 #Insurance #ExecutiveSearch #EliotPartnership

Would our workplaces transform if we all committed to being active allies?    Think it’s too hard? Consider this...   Being an ally in the workplace isn’t just about supporting LGBTQ+ colleagues during Pride Month; it's about fostering an environment where everyone can comfortably be themselves year-round. Our team shared profound insights on navigating professional spaces authentically. They remind us that embracing individuality not only enhances personal well-being but enriches our collective culture.   From implementing inclusive policies to encouraging open conversations, every step towards allyship removes barriers and builds a stronger, more cohesive team. It’s about listening, learning, and sometimes, unlearning. The road to inclusivity is continuous and requires us all to show up—not just as colleagues, but as genuine supporters and friends.   How will you step up as an ally today? Let’s make inclusivity our default, not our deviation.   #PowerOfVisibility #PrideMonth #LHHPride
